Abstract: Dielectric strips (12) made of a dielectric material are placed between a pair of conductor plates (1, 2) located a specified distance apart. Cutouts (14) are formed in the dielectric strips. By means of the cutouts, a part of each dielectric strip is formed into an electrically asymmetric portion. When high-frequency power is supplied to the dielectric strips, the power is transmitted through an NRD waveguide composed of the dielectric strips and the pair of conductor plates, with the result that electromagnetic wave is radiated from the cutouts (14) into the space between the conductor plates (1, 2). This electromagnetic wave excites the radiation elements (17) formed in the conductor plates (2), which then radiate electromagnetic waves.

Abstract: A method of irradiating a continuously-running strip with energy beams. Scanning the width of continuously-running strip positions energy-beam irradiating devices along the width of the strip. Allocation of scanning regions along the width of the strip corresponding to respective energy-beam irradiating devices is determined. When an edge deviation or strip wind is detected by a strip-edge detector upstream of the energy-beam irradiating devices, the strip regions to be scanned are adjusted. If the amount of strip wind exceeds the limits of the scannable energy-beam irradiating devices, neighboring irradiating devices are re-oriented, all in response to upstream strip wind detection.
